I saw this recipe for 'Knock-up Fruit Cake' on Meandering Through My Cookbook, a blog by Hopeeternal. It sounded like my kind of recipe i.e. basic recipe plus whatever happens to be in your cupboard, which for anyone who has read my blog for a while will know is pretty much how I cook!
The recipe was easy to follow and created a similar result to the picture on the blog, but I have to say that it did not keep particularly well. I'm not sure if I overbaked it, although it was not burnt, but it seemed a little bit dry for my taste. I may try again but think I prefer a boiled fruit cake with tons of fruit and really moist. It's just a matter of taste. I used dried cranberries, raisins and chopped dates for my fruit, I also used butter rather than margerine and I have to say that the cake part did have a lovely taste.
